My pandemic experience

So this year was very hard, and especially since the passing of my mom in September, things have kind of went downhill. My mental state, finances, home life and schooling for my son have all had a dive bomb effect since Covid has struck us. It's been one thing after another. And it's not only our family, but many more as well. Our every day life and all of our routines have a been thrown in disarray due to this pandemic. It's especially hard during the holidays because of the social distancing order. But regardless with all of that, there are people out there that make it their mission to see others smile and try to get a resemblance of normalcy back to them and lighten up their spirit. I am a fortunate recipient of that determination from the loving people I have to come to know at ONE Neighborhood Builders. With the food donations and supply runs, they have greatly helped out my family in particular amongst others I know. I am truly grateful for the hard work and support they give to us. We would be lost without them. They are truly an organization that goes the extra mile for their community.
